The same behavoir in arenas like Yuke of the Dornen Liro.
In my opinion it is not acceptable for singleplayer!
My weapons are causing so much less demage.

Please comment if you are agree with me.
This has to be fixed!

Thanks

PTS has being updated tonight:

• Removed EGO rating clamping during storyline mission instances.

--Phantasie

The arenas are probably staying how they are but the missions should be fixed soon.

This is something that needs to be thought over more than a little bit.

I generally understate.

Example, you've played and spent money and time to level your characters ego up to ...most times to actually have something to do. Now err.. you're screwed over. Not the first time. Trion or the defiance team has made a habit of this ****. It's like they're saying , stick with us through everything so we can screw you over and over.

Just my impression of all of the changes.

If arenas like "Yuke" will stay like this, they should be multiplayer only!

I had the downscaling problem in missions about an hour ago, so it isn't removed completely.

I have to admit, the logic behind this eludes me.

I can understand (to a degree) doing it in co-op maps, but nobody, including Trion, has anything to gain by enforcing it in solo instances like arenas.

They're not going to be making any money from doing this, so what exactly IS the reasoning (so far they have skirted answering this directly)?

All it accomplishes is to make things just that little more grindier, and will actually discourage people from doing dailies, etc.

C'mon Trion, time someone manned up and actually gave us some logical answers!

I'm going to pop in PTS and check if the removed clamping also happens when entering Arenas at the entrances, instead through match maker, I doubt it, but want to confirm what I don't want

I prefer to solo arenas, so that was a happy change for me, just hope it stays like that when it goes live

maybe later I'll check the mission, not sure there are any still open for me, 'cept the last couple in SF
getting late for me now, so yeah .. it'll be later for those

I figured one could still use the match maker, if they want to still group for arenas and have the choice of Standard (1500), Advance (2500/3500) and Expert (5000+)

I've spent only half an hour in the Game after the patch, so haven't noticed this.
What is there happened with EGO during majors and incursions? Does it stay as before or do we get EGO rating scaling down if TL is low? And it is always low until not enough players there...

PS. I wish devs do opposite - raise minimum TL during majors so it match usual min TL of a player with highest EGO. E.g. I have min TL 6 for conflict sites while solo, but only TL 2 while going solo for major arkfall or incursion. Wish it would also be TL 6...

outside events haven't changed, you're still scaled up to 4750.
it was the co-ops that were changed to scale with which difficulty selection, bad side effect, that also happened with solo instance. Like from a mission where you don't have a choice to select the difficulty, but just placed in a standard difficulty (like ego level 1500)
so open world is unchanged

Well, it sounds like all is good at the moment.

Must say, apart from the odd hiccup, the devs are making an effort to balance the game and keep everyone vaguely happy!

PT and Rashere for president!

Regarding the lighthouse arena's it will downgrade you to 1500 my current ego is 3386 but the threat level is set as 3 even doing it solo

sort it out trion please

I just finished the new Missions. And I still was downscaled to 1500 in singleplayer instance! Please fix it trion!

you're still going to see that, till they patch 2.401
I'm guessing that will be in the hotfix that is going to happen in 15 minutes
so give it another hour from now (check timestamp of this post) and try again

Don't feel bad. Scaling in the name of "balance" isn't helping low ego players either. This morning, playing my alt that is ego 700, I found myself against apex enemies, on a little roadside fight outside Iron demon Ranch. I honestly felt like I was throwing spit balls at them. If anything will drive players away it will be scaling in the name of balance. It sucks.

Can anyone confirm this is fixed in the story missions? Or do we still need to queue for expert instead of walking in?

Sorry Hype, for the thorn arenas, it is sorted out. That's the way Trion want's it. The story missions are what they are fixing.
